other dog

Well I bought 2 cases this morning, but I don't know if i'll be snowbound for a long time or not, so I gotta ration it.

Seems to be the about the same, but for some reason I can't download any pictures to illustrate my great adventures. I just haven't been doing much blogging lately.

It's really puttin' 'er down up here now!..cain't get this DVD player to work...guess i'll drink a beer or 3.

...sure wish I could figure out how to hook up this DVD player/VCR so it works. I can't figure it out, and the instructions don't say how to run it through the Directv box...guess i'll have to wait until my son can come by and do it for me. If I keep on i'm afraid i'll get more frustrated and throw it out in the snow!

took a load of pulpwood to Covington once and weighed in at 97,460. Didn't get caught, or I might still be in jail

Having to go back and dump off or shovel a little bit out the back door was a big hassle the short time I pulled a dump trailer. When we load at Gerdau-Ameristeel in Petersburg they get your axle weights when you pull on the scales. I had to leave a load going to Saginaw, Alabama Monday because I was too heavy to load it, and the loads were coming out heavy anyway because the beams were full of snow. Had to take a lighter load to Baltimore instead, not on my list of favorite places to go.

yeah!..I like the "fair tax" idea like Neal Boortz and Rush Limbaugh talk about. Everyone pays the same percentage of their income for taxes, and be done with it!. I used Turbo-Tax again and e-filed my own return. It's pretty easy, but it still took most of the morning to get it done. I claim no dependents during the year then claim myself when I do my return so i'll get a refund.

Snowing here now...i've heard we're gonna get anywhere from 14 to 28 inches supposed to snow all day and all night I got home about 10:30 last night and went by Wal-Mart on the way home because the weather channel said it was going to start early this morning and get real crappy real fast...apparently after midnight is when most of the "people of Wal-Mart" pictures are taken. Store was full of strange looking characters-including me. But at least I wasn't wearing pajamas like some of them were. I had to abandon my beer at the register because it was after midnight, but i've already made a beer run this morning I think we should get a bus and start off up north, pick everybody up along the way, and drop in to see hatcity for a few days.

yep, you pretty much have to because more often than not they just apply the "big truck rule", which is "any time there's an accident involving a big truck the truck is automaticly at fault, regardless of the circumstances".

probly not a snow shovel to be found around these parts. Or a sled- and I hope he doesn't read this, he'd be terribly offended.

I was just trying to help Rob out...maybe this will make it all better. I must say, it sure improves the looks of a Peterbilt. It would look even better if Rob painted it all the same color.

just making sure I can get out to go to work tomorrow!

here's the driveway, before, during, and after shoveling. Not even with a snow shovel, just a long handled square point steel shovel. 'Bout wore myself out, now i'm sweating like a pig. And my "helper wasn't much help at all.

just a thought...(Paul Van Scott)

A nephew of mine got one of those mini excavators a few years ago and had all the weekend work he could handle. He worked a regular job too and somebody wanted him to dig something all the time.

now there's so many coyotes some counties around here (in Virginia!) were paying a bounty for dead coyotes. Don't know if they still are because all you hear now is budget cuts, but they used to. Until a few years ago the only coyote I saw was on roadrunner cartoons.

that is a good-ern!

Well, things seemed to be picking up a little bit but i've been home more than I want to be because of the weather, and the shootings in Appomattox. I left on Monday a few weeks ago going to Huntington,W.V. and South Shore, Ohio and didn't get back until Wednesday because of the heavy snow in W.V. Now there's more on the way,which you're probably getting now.

This one is in Australia. It is indeed pretty neat, but I don't do any mobile grilling, it's all in the back yard. Besides, my Ranger probably wouldn't pull anything bigger than a Radio Flyer.

...would you make me one of these in your spare time, whenever you're not busy working on your trucks, or at the body shop, or for the the FAA, NASA, or NCAA. Doesn't have to be a classic Fairlane, just whatever's sitting around. No rush, but i'd like to have it before summer. And I don't want a gas grill, i'm going charcoal/wood fired. thanks, your pal Tom

try ACME products, Wile E. Coyote got all his equipment from them. Not sure if they're still in binness though. If not, check here- http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/browse/nightvision.aspx?c=136&dc=1194

that's what I thought you said.
